SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Finally, pics are back up. That doesn’t mean I’m a wordpress genius, just means I got lazy of trying and used another source for the photos. If the pics are a bit blurry or something…I don’t know why! But at least they’re back up!

So happy Monday all, I hope you had a brilliant weekend. Mine was extremely relaxing, except now I have to catch up on all the work I didn’t do over the weekend. Maybe it’s just me, but campus got a lot harder this semester!

So the latest story today, and to add another twist to the Katrina Kaif birthday fiasco, is that boyfriend Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan started bickering during the party. When will these guys ever grow up?

Even though the fight sounded very petty, it seems that Bollywood is breaking apart down the middle, with Shah Rukh supporters and Sallu supporters. It seems that Salman first took aim at Shah Rukh with a bottle of champagne and Shah Rukh retaliated with an evian water and even Aamir Khan got involved with a bottle of oil, so he could pour oil on troubled waters…get it? Heehee…Ok, I’m sugar high. Bad joke.

Salman did start the fight though, by comparing the ratings of ‘Dus Ka Dum’ and “Paanchvi Pass’ and laughed at King Khan for not even pulling decent ratings. SRK was supposedly silent for most of the attack, until he retorted by saying something about Ash, which set Salman off again. And Aamir did try to intervene, to no avail. Unfortunately, there weren’t any eyewitnesses, so no one can tell me if they had a food fight or not.

So now Salman’s and Shah Rukh’s supporters are coming up from the woodwork, with actors such as Fardeen and Zayed Khan, Ranbir and Kareena Kapoor all throwing in their lot with him and directors like Sajid Khan, Karan Johar, Farhan Akhtar and Yash Chopra supposedly siding with Shah Rukh.

Honestly, I don’t care who wins, as long as there’s a Bollywood-wide food-fight!

A nice easy post this one is…Happy Valentine’s Day everyone…since I don’t believe in the commercial holiday, which is nothing more than an excuse to make guy’s feel guilty, girls feel stupid and everyone wastes money on tacky teddy bears and plastic roses. Love is not this but let’s see how Bollywood will be spending it’s day…

Aishwarya Rai: “I’ll be attending the premiere of Jodha-Akbar in Delhi on Valentine’s Day. But Abhishek will be with me. So no complaints.

Every day is a simple day and every day is a celebration. What you make of every moment is what it’s all about.

Bipasha Basu:
Doing: “We’re going for a short trip to Cape Town. For the last three years on Valentine’s Day John and I have been in in different countries. Looking forward to this flash holiday.

Desire: “None. I’m happy and contented.”

Zayed Khan:
Doing: “See, it was Valentine’s Day five years ago that I proposed to Malaika. So it’s a doubly special day for me.

I think I’m going to try my hand at being chef, and have a go at some fine wine that I’ve been saving up for us for a special day. We’ll be at home since we don’t want to leave our son Zidaan alone.

Desire: “For many more such Valentine’s Days”

Pooja Bedi:
Doing: “I’ve absolutely no plans. It’s a day for LOVERS,not about being with loved ones, friends and relative. Unless you want to comfort yourself about the absence of that someone special in your life.

Desire: Waiting for my Prince Charming to come.

Priyanka Chopra: “I don’t believe you need a reason or a particular day to say you love someone. When you’re in love every day is special.”

Koena Mitra:
Doing: “Since I don’t have anyone special in my life I’d do the usual things, like watching a movie with my girlfriends, shopping till I drop and some harmless male-bashing with my girlie pals.And hmmmm, I may do some serious flirting. Is that allowed?

Desire: “My Valentine desire would be to finally meet Mr Right. But if that’s not possible this Valentine then fine. Just get me a man who’s hot-looking and a great conversationalist. Then even a Mr Wrong will do.

Celina Jaitley:
Desire: My Valentine wish is to find true love.

Desire: “I want to keep making films that girls will adore on Valentine’s Day.

Aryan Vaid: “My Valentine’s Day plans are open. I’m single so nothing happening.

I want to celebrate love. It’s such an amazing time and with the Mumbai weather being so romantic, this Valentine’s Day will be special even without a play- mate.

Desire: Hopefully next year I’ll have someone special to celebrate it with.

Farhan Akhtar:

Or something that just makes you laugh at him. Farhan Akhtar’s wife has opened a new hair salon (B’Blunt salon) which she got Hrithik Roshan to inaugurate. Hrithik’s acted in Farhan’s film Lakshya, though that was ages ago…I wonder how much he was paid to do to this.

Farhan’s wife Adhuna was the hairstylist in Farhan’s Dil Chahta Hai and if anyone wants to look like Saif, Aamir or Akshaye, then you know where to go.

Hrithik is quite enthusiastic about it all, and now that Jhodaa-Akbar’s finished…

“I don’t have a film that I am going to dive into next after Jodha Akbar. For my off period I am going to come back here and take a really wacko haircut,”

Are we supposed to be scared?

Not Farhan Akhtar and not Abhishek Bachchan. Though those two seemed to have switched roles…Farhan’s a pretty decent director, having Dil Chahta Hai and Don (the remake) to his credit and we all know who Abhishek Bachchan is…the son of Amitabh Bachchan and pati-ji of Aishwarya Rai. Must be sad, being famous because of the people you’re related to…ok, ok, don’t flame me. Abhishek is very talented in his own right and he made it into the industry through his own hard work and talent. There, you happy?

But he wants to do something that his dad never did and is trying his hand at directing. And his leading man is Farhan Akhtar…cute. Though some people are mistaking his boy-bonding movie as a sequel to Dil Chahta Hai, though Farhan says that it isn’t.

“It isn’t really a sequel. The genre of the two films is the same. So the two films resemble one another in some details like the bonding among friends. But the story of Abhishek’s film is not an extension of my ‘Dil Chahta Hai’,”

This isn’t the first time Farhan’s acting, but he claims this is just something that he likes doing, but being a director is what really makes him happy. Abhi’s movie will also have Arjun Rampal in it (that means I’ll be watching it) and some VJs. Might take a while for us to see anything though, so don’t hold your breath.
